The Chicago labor Troubles


CHICAGO, May 11.-Further compli-

taken last night by the Master Masons

The Mesrs-Sturgis Damage Suit.


ONANcocR, Va, May 1.-THE suit
for $4,000 damages brought by Mrs.
Smith Mears against j. Revell Sturgis,
for an attempt to murder her husband,
came up for trial in Accomack Circuit
Court yesterday-Judge Gunter presi-
ding.
The case was argued to-day by Judge
Garrison and Congressman BayIey
Blowne for the plaintiff, and by Hon.
John Nicely and State-SenatOr Black
stone for the defendant. In the course
Of his argument Judge Garrison Gre
ated somewhat of a sensation by refer
ring to the strong pressure which Stur-
gis's counsel had brought to bear on the
Governor to secure his pardon from the
pcnitentiary. This was objected to by
the counsel for the defence, and the OBJ
lection was sustained by the Court.
The case was submitted late this after
noon to the jury, who, failing to agree,
were locked up till tomorrow.
Much popular interest is manifested
in the trial.
There is a full docket, and the court
will probably last all through next week.

There was a tremendous rush to
shake hands with O'Brien at the con-

the carriages which were in waiting to

the same suit of rooms at st. Lawrence

Three hundred and sixty-eight of the
survivors of the United States Sixth

arrived here to-day at 2 p. NJ. ona spe-

were received at the depot and escorted
to the Exchange Hotel by commit

courthouse tonight, where speeches
were made and a good time generally

not and would not submit to. The re.
port was loudly applauded and adopted.
The bricklayers utterly refused TO re-
cede from their demand for Saturday
nav day, and the masters, after passing
a resolution agreeing TO shut down all
work il the bricklayers should strike
on this account, adjourned.
1t is asserted that the leading mem
bers of the Builders and Trades Ex-
change are making preparations to
"carry the war into Egypt " if it be-
comes necessary. A written contract
has. it is said, been prepared, binding
all the dealers in building materials to
sell to none but members of the ex-
change during strike. 1t is urged by
the movers in this plan that it is purely
protective measure, without which
outside contractors would secure all
the work during a protracted general
STRIFE.
Manly a thousand bricklayers and
stone -masons asked their bosses this
morning to change payday from Mon
day to Saturday, and where the de-
mand vas refused the men laid down
their trowels and quit work. Fully
500 men struck work by 10 o'clock,
while the others. who had given the
contractors n few hours to decide, be-
gan to leave later. By noon 600 men
were out. The strike is not in any
way connected with that of the car

Tie strike of bottom-fitters which
took place last week in the blast furnace

a line of policy for the people Of ire
land which he would produce at the
proper moment and knock the bottom
out of the coercion bill. When the
coercion bill was passed the landlords
would find that the plan of campaign
would continue without the slightest
interruptiun or inconvenience. His
proposed policy would involve neither
crime nor violent resistance Of law, but
was system of combination 50 perfect
and the people wodld ne induced to
act so Loyalty towards each other that
they would not revert 10 crime and out

Gladstone Makes Another strong
Speech.


tBy Anglo-American cable 10 the Dispatch.l
LONDON, Nay 1l.-Mr. Gladstone
was present at luncheon given to-day
TO forty on-Conformist ministers at
the residence of DR.. Parker, of the
City Temple. He made an address of
an hours length, the subject of the
whole discourse being Ireland. He
said there never had been any reason
for charging the Parnellites with com
plicity IN Irish crimes six years ago.
While Prime Minister he had de-
nounced the Parnellites as dangerous.
! hat wastotally different from charging
them with crime. The present utter
ances Of Major Saunderson, Lord Ran
dolph Churchill, and even of Salisbury
were more dangerous than any utter
ances the Parnellites had ever made.
Gladstone held that the alliance be-
tween the Liberals and the Parnellites
was perfectly open one and one that
had been brought about by community
of belief. 1t compared favorably with
the alliances between the Conservatives
and the Irish in 1881 and 1885. The
coercion bill was an insidious attack on
the press. The measure was designed
to create new offences. 1t was dis
honoring and disgracing bill. In con-
clusion. Mr.. Gladstone vehementiy de-
nounced the Governments attitude on
the TimcS's charges against the Irish
members, and said the prosecution OF
the Times by the Crown would be a
horrible force.
